  5. Medicaid opposition underscores states' healthcare disparities

    WASHINGTON &mdash; Republican opposition in many statehouses to expanding Medicaid next year under President Obama's healthcare law &mdash; opposition that could leave millions of the nation's poorest residents without insurance coverage &mdash; will likely widen the divide between the nation's healthiest and sickest states.

  10. Angelina Jolie, the BRCA mutation and me

    Late Monday night, friends and colleagues started sending me Angelina Jolie's op-ed about her decision to have a double mastectomy. Like Jolie, I have the mutation in my BRCA1 gene that pushed my lifetime risk of developing breast cancer to nearly 90%. (It also raised my risk of ovarian cancer above 50%.) Also like Jolie, I chose to get a double mastectomy to reduce my risk of <a>breast cancer</a> to less than 5%. In 2007, I wrote a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/me-anna13,0,3940486,full.story">first-person story</a> in the Los Angeles Times about finding out I had this mutation and how I decided what to do about it.
